I’m Melinda Croes, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Melinda Croes, LCSW, where I support adults who want to feel more grounded, connected, and in control of their lives.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I help clients navigate life transitions, anxiety, burnout, financial challenges, relationships (or the lack thereof), and stress. Together, we explore what’s getting in the way, build healthier patterns, and create space for clarity and growth.

Before opening my practice, I spent years in social justice–focused work—supporting individuals and families from diverse backgrounds, leading community-based programs, supporting people in financial coaching/counseling, and managing research on economic wellbeing. These experiences shape my belief that healing is both personal and contextual. I bring evidence-based practices, cultural humility, deep listening, and an understanding of the real-world pressures people face.

In therapy with me, you can expect a supportive environment where you’re met with compassion and encouraged to move forward at your own pace. My goal is to help you understand yourself more fully, strengthen your internal resources, and create meaningful change in your life.

If you’re looking for a therapist who is engaged, thoughtful, and committed to your growth, I’d be honored to work with you.
